Going back in time when the seven time world champion, Lewis Hamilton, was just about coming into his own with his very first F1 championship. He gave an interview where he shared some of his most humbling experiences.

After winning the 2008 title, Hamilton went back to his hometown, a town where, as a little child, he faced a lot of hardships. He wanted to go back and see where it began, and how far he’d come. Lewis shared that it was a very humbling experience of being grateful for having achieved everything that he did, and for also realizing how hard he’s had to work to make it happen.
